    Absentia

    Finally got this last night after waiting what seemed like years.

    Half expecting a low budget POS - I was blown away by the entire movie.

    It takes a deep and dark message about missing persons, and wraps it up into a very strong moral and social message, then kicks you in the head until you're left breathless by it's savagery.

    Cant really go into it without giving away spoilers - but suffice to say, that when you look through the horror of the movie itself, you're left staring into the abyss that many hundreds of thousands of families do every day, and find yourself asking yourself, why ?

    Grab it if you can, a solid solid movie.

    9/10

    That review could almost describe Spoorloos too.
    I'll be sure to check this out - cheers for the tip Dexter.

    Sounds like a really great movie, but it seems like I'll have a problem finding it.

    It hit DVD today for those that are wondering and want to see it so it should also be on Netflix not sure about streaming though.

    Hey guys.

    I watched this last night over at a friends house. I thought it was great even with it's slow build up, but really that worked perfectly by ratcheting up the tension level.
    I'm partial to low budget movies above others in the genre as it is, and I like the raw beauty that an unpolished from the heart and the soul caliber movie delivers.

    This movie to me is like that, and even the music was a perfect fit. Lind of made me sad a little bit.
    You know a movie is good when you still think about it on and off the next day.

    All in all it's a really good movie with good acting and doesn't overuse the antagonist. I'd give it 8/10 stars

    If you were to adjust for low budget/lesser know actors/director - and compare what was produced side by side with a pop culture hollywood excess production.... it actually kind of would be.

    I'll have to check this out. Wasn't sure if it was worth the watch, but by what I've read here, I guess it needs to be viewed. It's streaming on Netflix, so probably see it this weekend.
    I also recently watched shock Labyrinth. Movie had a lot of creepy potential and I thought it had a nice confusing vibe. But I was not happy at all with the "Twist" at the end. That kind of pissed me off.
